Chapter 522: A Great Victory
Dalaran's mage also helped transport the artillery to the head of the Gate of Damnation, and the cannon roared in unison, blowing up countless undead like the sea.
Five minutes later.
"I'm back!" Gianna suddenly appeared next to Vanessa and waved behind her.
The Gorons join the fray, raising stone pillars and tree trunks, and in the east of the level, they unleash another slaughter against the undead who are no more than knee-high.
Vanessa gave Gianna the task of clearing the undead in the checkpoint and went to the western wall, which was already in danger.
Several of Lordaeron's Legionn, Marlan, the Mograine Brothers, Whitemane, Halver of Stormwind. Vimubane, the elites of the coalition are basically on this side, these elites can deal with the undead in peacetime, but at this time, they are extremely embarrassed, there are too many undead.
Even if there is magic, a rain of arrows, artillery, and various means alternately attack, like a sieve, the undead troops have been sifted several times, but there are still many undead who can climb up to the top of the city.
"Your Highness! I can't hold it anymore! Ronin yelled.
Vanessa pressed down with both hands: "Leave it to me!" ”
The east side of the Gate of Damnation is built extremely strong because it has to face the front of the coalition army, and the west side is not necessary to repair so hard for the undead themselves, which is also a major reason why Luo Ning and they don't count the consumption of mana and release magic with their lives, but they can't hold it, and the city wall on the west side is built problematicly.
"Earth...... Vodasil ...... Lend me some of the strength......" The earth quickly responded, and the originally fifty-meter-high wall was abruptly thickened by two layers with a loud boom, and became steeper according to Vanessa's arrangement.
The roots of Vodahir also grew wildly on this side, and the vines wrapped around the wall, and then sprang upwards again, and by the time the growth stopped, the west wall had become seventy meters high, and the broken wall was filled with roots, which were not only strong at this time, but also overgrown with thorns.
Love to climb walls? Try another climb!
The undead army's offensive did not subside at all, and she was not ready to admit it, so she directly opened her mouth to mock.
She pointed to the Sea of the Undead below and roared, "It doesn't matter if you're the Lich King or Arthas, I'm telling you, it's a sign of your incompetence!" Come on! Come and reclaim your damned gates! Do you dare to come? ”
The Lich King was furious, and so was the entire army of the undead.
A hoarse sound came from their shattered throats at the same time, Die!
Countless undead joined the battle, and they frantically flocked to the western wall of the Gate of Damnation, and without any ladders or climbing tools, they relied on their numbers to crash into the wall like a stack of arhats.
The undead soldiers frantically attacked the roots outside the city walls with all kinds of weapons, using their claws when their knives were broken, and biting them with their teeth when their claws were broken.
Even if Vodasil's roots are extremely strong, the wear and tear at this time is far greater than the limit of the roots, and the ants bite the elephant to death, this principle is applicable in Azeroth, the elf can blow up Akmund, and the boundless undead can also consume her Vanessa.
This is also the reason why she didn't open up and jumped into the waves of the undead.
She glanced at it twice, and immediately turned around and ordered, "Keep burning!" Don't stop! Our reinforcements were not long in coming. ”
The mages hurriedly aimed at the roots, and countless pieces of fire magic poured down.
The roots were on fire, and the undead who climbed on the roots were burned to ashes.
The undead are afraid of fire after all, and Vodahir's fire resistance is significantly higher than that of the undead.
Relying on this practice of killing a thousand enemies and inflicting eight hundred on herself, Vanessa and the others persevered for another thirty minutes.
Elven arrows and Void Dragon's breath are also providing them with assistance.
The charred undead under the walls were piled up, and according to Vanessa's eyes, the total number of undead killed on both sides of the Gate of Damnation would have exceeded 100,000 last night and this morning.
Now that the Gate of Damnation is a coalition effort, it won't be so easy for the Lich King to recapture it.
Regardless of whether the Lich King was angry or not, Vanessa had been deploying according to her own plan.
Forty-three minutes later, Old Fording led more than 45,000 infantry to the east side of the checkpoint.
Together with Goron and the elites of the various clans on the city walls, they wiped out the undead on the east side of the level, and then officially entered the Gate of Damnation.
The rear camps also constantly brought all kinds of weapons and equipment to the front.
The coalition forces were condescending and geographically advantaged, and after the infantry led by Old Ferding joined the battle, the balance of numbers was also restored, arrows, oil and oil, shells, javelins, and the weapons of the coalition forces were far more advanced than the undead, and for every minute of delay, the chances of the coalition forces holding the gate of damnation were one point higher.
The undead army also climbed the city wall several times along the way, all thanks to Old Fording and Magni. Copperbeard and these warriors lead the men to plug the gap and complete the kill.
At this time, the legal system was tired and paralyzed, and Vanessa had been maintaining communication with the earth and Vodasil, and she was too tired to do it.
In the face of the Lich King's crazy counterattack, it must be carried by the abundant physical strength of these legendary warriors.
The battle lasted for three days, beginning with the stormy assault that night, ending with the Allied forces seizing the Gate of Damnation, and turning into victory with the arrival of the old Fording army to support.
If the coalition soldiers are injured or exhausted, they are allowed to rest in the rear, and there are countless soldiers on the east side of the checkpoint to replace.
The real hard work is for this group of leaders, who can only rest occasionally and spend the rest of their time fighting.
No one knows exactly how many undead were killed, some say 80,000, some say 100,000, and some say 150,000.
When the undead legion completely retreated, they all breathed a sigh of relief, it was not easy, the gate of damnation was guarded!
"Count battle damage! Pack your supplies! Let people go under the wall and pick up all the weapons and equipment they can use, and burn all the corpses of the undead! Vanessa didn't care about resting and kept giving orders.
The Gate of Damnation is huge, but no matter how big it is, it has a limit, and it can accommodate more than 50,000 soldiers at best.
The coalition forces were not completely defended, and on the day the undead legion retreated, they came out of the pass and built a large number of fortifications along the front of the wall.
Pits, turrets, mines, magic traps, all kinds of defenses, as long as you have them, use them all.
The victory of the Gate of Damnation gave Vanessa great prestige, and no one would question her military talent anymore, and she was not polite, and continued to give orders, digging pits, arranging defenses, and fighting defensive counterattacks.
The battle unified the voices within the coalition forces, but the corps suffered equally heavy losses and had to redeploy their forces.
In order to signify a phased victory, but also to boost morale, the discordant name of the Gate of Damnation was naturally abandoned, and considering the sacrifice and political status of the paladins, the Gate of Damnation was officially renamed the Gate of Light.
